Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Nevada
I paid cash for my home outright with having the specific purpose of purchasing where the was no HOA. I did go through a title company and my deed/title specifically states that there is no HOA out here. Now 18 months later I received a letter in the mail stating that I am late on my dues for the past year and a half and if i do not pay they will take ownership of my property and sell it at auction. Also there are at least a half dozen other home owners who's deed/title states that there is no HOA in this area. My first question is if this HOA does in fact exist am I responsible for dues even though a contract was signed stating that there is no HOA? Second can they take ownership of a property that does not have a mortgage or any money owed on it?

If title insurance was purchased, a claim should be prepared and filed immediately. If not, recourse may be had against the Seller of the property. Good luck pursuing the Seller.Your attorney can explain further.
